    Portland -3 an obvious play

    Trailblazers should be an auto-play tonight. They lost the first game back home after their roadtrip but not tonight.

    I know Matthews and Batum aren't likely to play but the other players will rally for the Trailblazers. Portland only giving 3 to a bad Raptors team in the Rose Garden is funny.

    I believe -3 is because they are without Batum and Matthews.

    Of course but it's still kind of ridiculous.

    do you know who will replace them? Portland is an awful team without those two. If they win tonight, LA will have to dominate, which I think he will. Toronto will score 100 points on this shit defense.

    I think you overvalue perimeter defenders. It's much more important to have an anchor down low. Now I'm not saying Portland has that but they do have solid big men in Aldridge, Hickson, and Leonard.

    Btw, Batum doesn't play a lick of D. So they're missing Matthews. Big deal, they'll manage.

    Hickson is one of the worst defenders in the league. Batum's great playing D. You are better than that T-Wizz, maybe because its a west coast team?

    Batum is a good defender. It's not just that. Those guys drop 15+ each per game. They're good scorers and Port's best 2 3 point shooters. Babbit is strictly a 3 point shooter, horrible defender. Pavalvic? Please. Derozan will destroy him if they start him at the 2. Aldridge needs to score like 35 tonight. I might put a little more on that Aldridge prop.

    I think this might be the second time of the season I take the Craptors.

    Batum doesn't play D? Have you ever watched Portland?

    under 99 I have for the blazers as well. they should try to slow the pace down so lillard and LA can go all game. and they have two players. two. plus Lowry should own Lillard.

    Portland was 0-20 from 3 without their 2 best perimeter shooters. Good thing Aldridge went into beast mode tonight and Raptors two best players went down in the first half or I'm pretty sure Portland would have lost this game straight up if Lowry and Barn played. Time to fade this team if those two are out for long stretches. You can't just plug in players in the nba all the time. Only sometimes.
